- 2. The most posterior of the four cerebral lobes; it's function is primarily vision.
- 5. fissure The large fissure that separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe
- 7. variable The variable measured by the experimenter to assess the effect of the independent variable.
- 9. The portion of the brain that sits on the brain stem; in general, it plays a role in complex adaptive process
- 12. The scientific study of the biology of behavior
- 13. Toward the bottom of the primate head or brain
- 14. The three protective membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.
- 15. A structure in the anterior temporal lobe, just anterior to the hippocampus; plays a role in emotion.
Down
- 1. The delicate, innermost meninx
- 3. Nerves that carry motor signals from the central nervous system to the skeletal muscles or internal organs.
- 4. A fatty insulating substance found in the extensions of glial cells.
- 6. Bundles of axons in the peripheral nervous system.
- 8. Massive momentary reversal of a neuron's membrane potential from about -70mV to about +50mV.
- 10. A neural stain that completely darkens a few of the neurons in each slice of the tissue, thereby revealing their silhouettes.
- 11. Neurons with short axons or no axons at all, whose function is to integrate neural activity within a single brain structure.
